Alpine S2-W8D2 8-Inch S-Series Subwoofer Product Overview: The Alpine S2-W8D2 is the redesigned, next-generation 8-inch S-Series subwoofer. It is built to deliver Hi-Res Audio perf ormance, providing powerful and accurate bass even in compact spaces. Featuring Dual 2-Ohm Voice Coils, this driver offers flexible wiring options, making it a perfect fit for smaller custom enclosures or under-seat installations. Key Features Enhanced Punch & Reliability The S2-W8D2 utilizes a cone constructed from a carbon fiber and polypropylene blend. This material choice ensures the woofer is lightweight and rigid, which minimizes distortion and provides a deep, rich "punch" that enhances the overall depth of your music. A polypropylene and ceramic dust cap adds further structural integrity for long-term reliability. High-Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) Surround This subwoofer features Alpine’s proprietary HAMR rubber surround technology. This multi-roll design allows the cone to move a significant amount of air while remaining cool and stable during intense playback. It supports 13mm of one-way linear excursion, delivering a level of accuracy and impact that is highly impressive for an 8-inch driver. Flexible Installation Equipped with Dual Voice Coils (DVC) and included configuration jumpers, the S2-W8D2 makes wiring simple. You can easily configure the sub for a 1-ohm or 4-ohm load to match your amplifier's output. It also features a twist-lock grille mounting system, allowing for the easy addition of an optional protective grille without the need for extra mounting screws. Superior Power Management The motor structure includes high-grade strontium ferrite magnets and a 1.4-inch high-temperature voice coil. These components allow the sub to handle 300W RMS consistently. For the best performance, it is a perfect power match for the Alpine S2-A60M mono amplifier, which can effortlessly power one or two of these 8-inch subwoofers.
